The Lesson of one Busy Life.

Two countres--America and Ireland
have just cause for patriotic pride In the
achievements Of the late John Roach.
Ireland, the land Of his nativity, must be
credited with having given him those great
qualities without which so splendid and
successful career would have been impos-
sible in any part OF the world. America,
the land Of his adoption, furnished the con-
ditions essential to the development of his
great powers and the working out of q
career that has seldom been paralleled.
The sober facts of John Roach's life read
like wild romance. Landing on our shores
poor and frlendless Irish boy, he made his
own way, not by any royal road, but by
hard work, by unconquerable energy, by
stern integrity, to such enviable fame as
few even Of fortunes favorites have attained.
Twice in the early stages of his career all
his savings were swept away by misfortune,
but he could not be discouraged. Applying
himself with increasing energy to his daily
toll he repaired disasters, regained the
ground he had lost, and bravely pushed on
to fresh victories.
John Roach was not only the greatest Of
Americas shipbuiders, but one Of the great
men Of his day, in that he possessed vast
fund Of practical knowledge and knew
how to make good use OF It, Very few Of
his contemporaries were so well informed
as he in relation to our productive indus
tries, transportation, and other economic
questions. He would have been a success
ful man In the Senate or In the Cabinet, for
he was supcrbly equipped for the business
Of the law maker or the executive official.
And all this came of his own unaided efforts.
He was his own teacher; his workshop was
his college, and he never failed to honor his
| alma mater.
Although an adopted he was loyal son
Of the republic, and no pan was more
ready than he to do all in his power for the
| promotion CT his country's interests. His
life will bear close scrutiny, despite all thai
Lis critics have alleged, for he was proud o
his fair fame and scorned any act thai
would tarnish 1t. The grave has closed
over his mortal part, but he will live on II
the memory of all who are capable OF ap
preclating true nobility of soul. His III,
will be an incentive to worthy efforts. 1
will tell the sons Of poverty and toll tina
honor and wealth are within their reach
that there is no son of this republic, nativ
or adopted, who need despair Of fame ant
fortune.

.The New Southv

On Tuesday last Geu. Hawley, by request,
presented to the Senate a petition signed
by Stephen Hackworth, James L. Moore,
and Carl Schultz, Of Brennan, Washington
county, Texas, in which they allege that
they are law-abiding citizens; that they
were never charged with any crime; that,
nevertheless, they were forcibly driven
from their homes and from the county last
month by armed mobs acting under orders
Of the Democratic committee; that they
have vainly appealed to the local and state
authorities, and that they now come to
Congress, sin the earnest hope that there
may somewhere exist sufficient power to
protect citizen Of the United States In his
own country" Senator Hawley's news
paper, the Hartford Courdnt, referring to
these victims OF. Democratic persecution,
Gays:
Only few months ago the Democratic press
OF the country was ready for war with Mexico
because journalistic adventurer who had yio-
lated Mexican law was properly called to ac-
count. But there Is too much reason to fear
that the same press will deny or condoue the
Texan infnmios and ring the changes about
ask that American citizens shall have the
rights of American citizens in every part of the
republic, regardless of their political beliefs,
nationality, color, or creed. Nevertheless 1t
would be rank cowardice for those who believe
in free government to refuse to protest
against such outrages, and rs there Is no state
or national election pending 1t ought to be pos
sible to consider the case on its merits, and try
to devise some remedy
Yes, "it ought to be possible" but 1t Is
not. Nothing more will be done in this
case than was done in the matter of the
Carrollton massacre-and that was nothing
at all. "The New South" must be INDUCED
In its eccentricties.
The Pittsburg Commercial Gazette, in an
article suggested by this petition, says, and
says truly, that in many counties through
out the south political rights are denied to
those who dare to proclaim themselves Re-
publicans, and II they persist IN asserting
their rights they are speedily subjected to
tie dreadful methods Of the kuklux, and
adds
1t is notorious, too, that but for very dread of
those methods the last presidential campaign
would have resulted in the disastrous defeat of
Mr. Cleveland and the election Of Mr.. Blaine
The country will be curious to learn what dis
position will be made of this petition-whether
proper inquiry into the facts will be ordered
and whether, If the allegations be true, the
authority of the government will be eXerted In
bringing to justice those who wantonly trample
under and defy its laws, Upon the proper
settlement of the principles involved in this
petition hinges the fact whether this is n re.
public in fact as well as III name-whether
there IS power enough in the government to
protect every citizen in the free exercise of all
his rights. 1t is Il question that must be settled
sooner or later, and settled right.
1t seems to have been decided in the
negative already.

Breakfast Table Letter to the preslden,

Breakfast Table Letter to the President.
Mr.. PRESIDENT: Your attention is invited
to the interviews obtained by an ambassador
from this paper with slxty.eight members Of
the House of Representatives, which is pub.
lished this morning, upon the question Of
placing sugar upon the free list and the
removal of the revenue tax on tobacco
Thirty-three members out Of sixty.eight favor
the repeal in part, or in whole, of the duty on
sugar; six members favor bounty for raising
of sugar. In the states OF Virginia, North Car
olina, and Tennessee, the sixteen members of
Congress interviewed favor the removal of the
revenue tax on tobacco.
The information derived from these inter.
views makes it apparent that the House of
Representatives will not at this session pass
any bill reducing revenues. The OILY imme-
diate relief the country can obtain by leglsla-
| ton is a liberal appropriation Of tRc surplus
revenue for coast defenses, for new navy,
for the improvement and construction OF
waterways, and for pensions.
Such appropriations patriotism, protection,
and prudence alike demand.
The interstate commerce bill will pass both
houses of Congress. If approved, you will be
commander-ln- chief of 10000 miles of rail-
| way.
The railway commissioners, whom you will
be required to nominate, will have compli-
Gated duties and vast powers; so vast that the
people themselves will be restless under thi:
legislation that concentrates into the hands o.
five men, under national law. the power t.
control the inland commerce OF our country.
Many believe the national patronage and the
influence of this measure constitute COM
bined force sufficient, if skillfully used, to per.
petuate the Democratic party in control of tht
| nation.

a NASHVILLE Democratic contemporary
complains that "whenever a Democrat
favors reformation in the tariff the Repub-
lican organs put him down as a free
trader" The same paper remarks that
When we consider that 1t is necessary for
this government to raise $3.50, 900 0JO annually
tor It's necessary expenses from the imports 1t
is difficult to see where the free trade part
comes in. Democrats want reform in the tarin
70 that war taxes shall be discontinued aud no
more money be collected from the people than
IS necessary to carry on the government, econo-
m!cally administered.
II is well understood that no party or
faction proposes abolition OF duties on im-
ported goods 1t is equally well under
stood that the ''reyenue reformn Demo

called free trade. More than three-quar-
tiers Of the Democrats in the forty-nlnth
Congress are hostile to protection and aim
at such changes in the tarifl as will APP
proximate free trade with the iutent to
reach the English plan as soon as possible.
This is one reason why the people fear the
Democratic party and 1t explains the hypo-
critical tariff plank in the Democratic plat

The New York tribune has done the
country service In exposing colossal
humbug, to wit, Reformer Holman. The
Tribune has caused to be made an examina.
tlon of Holman's record In the Forty-nnth
Congress, which shows that he has thus far
'sintroduced about fifty bills, and of these
forty-three are measures to employ the
public money for the personal benefit OF
some of his constituents. Only seven have
any sort Of relation to the purposes OF a
legislature, and only two or three have any
merit In them at all. Twenty four are pen.
sion bills, system OF private award against
which he has 1nyeighed with great energy.
Fourteen are bills to relieve people al
the public expense. One is q measure to
erect public buildings at Madison at a cost
OF thousands OF dollars, though this kind OF
proposition coming from some young con-
gresham without much influence always
throws Holman into paroxysms OF virtue.
He is rabidly opposed to junketIngs on the
part OF other congressman, yet he fund

bursed without audit, although the law re-
quires that all accounts shall be audited by
a registrar compelled to give bonds In the
sum of $4,000 for the faithful discharge OF
his duty, and this audit to be passed upon
by the finance committee Of the trustees
Yet there is no registrar, the president act
ing as his own auditor, under no bond
whatever, and the finance committee have
not held business meeting in years.
Within the past year the status OF the
college has been greatly improved, owing
to the efforts Of faculty which is excep-
tionally efficient, and II the trustees, even
now at the eleventh hour, will begin to do
their duty there is every prospect that
Maryland will shortly have one OF the best
agricultural colleges in the country. Neg
lect upon one side and utter incapacity
upon the other are not, however, the ele-
ments which command or deserve success.

Agricultural Colleges and the Hatch
Bill.


Bill.
The Maryland farmers convention, which
was held on Wednesday, In Baltimore, after
a somewhat lively debate, indorsed the
Hatch bill, which provides for the establish.
ment Of experiment stations at the differ
ent agricultural colleges OF the country. No
more important matter could, at the present
time, have been brought to the consldera-
tion Of the convention. The provisions OF
this bill are Of vital Importance to agrIcul-
tural interests, and II is q matter of serious
regret that such distinguished and repre-
sentative body of farmers should have
deemed 1t necessary to publicly express its
distrust 10 the efficiency OF the management t
of its own state college.
For years past Washington has furnished
a large contingent OF students 10 Maryland
Agricultural College, and our city is quite
as much interested In Its success as any city
of Maryland. 1t Is for this reason that we
feel 1t duty to call upon the trustees to
heed the note of warning which was sounded
in the farmers convention.
The wrangle over the Hatch bill arose
upon the report OF the committee on reso-
lutions recommending that the convention
indorse the bill, provided that "the experl-
ment stations be kept separate aud distinct
from the present agricultural college,"
As concurrence in the resolution was apt
to ieopardlze the fate OF the measure in
Congress better counsel prevailed aud Mr..
Hatch's bill was ultimately approved with
out any qualification. The fact remains,
nevertheless, that Maryland farmers know
full well the culpable indifference OF the
trustees to the best interests Of the college.
1t is notorious that within the past two
years not single trustee meeting has been
held at the college at which quorum was
present, United States funds, state funds,
income from farm and students are dis
